Instructions
Clean the asparagus: trim away the white part and filamentous, wash them, boil them in salted water for 20 minutes, drain and rinse the Blender after holding by sixteen tips for the final decoration.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add a pinch of salt, flour and diluted with 30 cl of milk.
Bring the sauce to a boil without ever ceasing to rotate in order to obtain a perfectly smooth béchamel.
